The Simpsons producers did a very good job portraying the 1920’s Prohibition time. The accuracies did outweigh the fictional comedy I think. They had the Speakeasies and Bootleggers. They also had the beer companies all going out of business, and then having Homer make the beer in the basement and giving it to the Speakeasies. For the fictional comedy there were some stuff like the bar transforming into a pet shop and bowling balls were the way to get the beer to the saloons. I did like the episode.






To make the episode more like the 1920’s Prohibition, I would take out the scene when the punishment of Homer’s beer making is being catapulted. The whole episode was very good and accurate and then the catapult was just stupid. It didn’t ruin the episode but I just wasn’t funny and just didn’t go with it.
